Deling af halvdags Kilim Geoforest Park Mangrove Boat Tour

A mixed bag of a trip... Firstly the driver arrived late and we hadn't heard he would be so we were getting worried we had missed him. Once he arrived he didn't refer to being late - and then we were further delayed by the next people to be collected... however we didn't want this to impact our day. When we arrived at the park - its very well organised chaos! There are so many people getting into so many boats but it is very well organised and we were very quickly on our boat. There is a toilet at the main site but bring some small notes as you need to pay. They were clean but just somewhat wet! You can also buy bread which you can feed the fish with if you would like to. The boat had life jackets which you must wear and we had a good safety briefing, then we were off to our first stop - fish feeding. If you choose not to buy the bread you still see the fish... Then we went to the floating restaurant for a toilet stop - these toilets are even more interesting but its all part of embracing the day! You can buy some additional drinks here for a few Ringgit. Next to watching the eagles which was really good. Our guide Nash gave us lots of information and we spent time just watching them and taking photos. We went to gorilla rock - this very loosely looks like a gorilla and you sail past. Still the limestone rock and mangrove are impressive. Monkey river was good - you are warned before arriving to ensure plastic bags and water bottles are away - bring a (non plastic) bag to put this in! The monkeys can be bold and climb in the boat but are curious and not aggressive at all. There are loads of them along the river. Crocodile cave was fun to drive though - it (sort of) has a rock which looks like a crocodile face hence the name. There are no actual crocodiles. The bat cave was great - you pay 2 Ringgits per adult - get the torch for a Ringgit as mobile phone torches dont have a strong enough beam. The bats are very cool and its fun in the cave. Monkeys here too so dont bring your water bottle! We visited the Andaman sea - you can see Thailand in the distance and then to a beach where people got off the boat and swam in the water. We stayed on board and the boat Captain took us further along to see the coastline which was good. Back to the floating restaurant for lunch - which was surprisingly good. Comes with an orange squash which was thirsty quenching. I didnt like the fish farm which is there - pick a fish for your lunch... many of the fish were distressed and swimming around frantically. But, our standards of ethical treatment are different in the UK. All in all it was a well organised trip but I had been hoping to learn more about the mangrove and its importance. The eagle watching was really good and worth the trip just for that.

Booked a tour with German guide but got one in English.Didn't get part of our money back either, as it was much more expensive than anywhere else anyway ,but stop in German,that's why we booked through TripAdvisor. What we will never do again, we were probably according to the reviews not the only ones who were cheated.Really sad

The pickup was bumpy, but the whole trip Mega was nice . Super organized although the first impression did not look like it. Highly recommended.

The Geo Park experience was excellent, our guide Shah and our boat man were very knowledgable and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. The Eagles were amazing, and it was great to fly along in the boat. The only thing that let it down was the transfer to the Park. On the way we were 4 people in a small car and it was very cramped, on the way back it was a better experience so I think they responded to feedback. I would highly recommend visiting the Geo Park.

A great day out, the guide was helpful we saw many interesting things. Lunch was good, a buffet. It was marred by transportation problems. On the way back particularly there were too many people put on our minibus. I am disabled, and was manhandled off the bus by an aggressive driver.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day. The drive to the start of the boat ride and back (from the cruise port in the South to the North shore) was great. Abu, our driver provided so much information on Langkawi, the people and the island. The boat ride was so beautiful and relaxing and the absolute best way to see the island. We saw so many eagles, monkeys, the fish farm, and just beautiful mangroves and ocean. Upon our returning to the port, Abu offered to take us to other places we might like to see on our way back to the port. We stopped to see the Eagle (amazing). He drove around the city, !once again sharing more information. The day was a full land and boat tour of a wonderful island. Thanks to our great guide, Abu!

Shearings Coach Tour: W8XRCK (21 to 28 Dec. 2025) Xmas on the Italian & French Riviera - over the Xmas week Would strongly advise not to use Shearings (not to be confused with Leger).

Regards, Martin

I thought this was excellent value. It was a sharing boat- Fortunately everyone in our group were good people, and the guide (Shah) was amazing and full of knowledge about the wildlife in the area. We covered fish feeding, saw fruit bats, eagles, monkeys, bat caves, and finished with a rest/swim at a stunning beach. The water was so warm. The lunch was small (chicken and rice) but it was fine and kept us going! Whilst this had nothing to do with our tour specifically, I was annoyed at a minority of tourists from other tours 1) teasing/scaring the monkeys to get a reaction out of them, and 2) deciding to feed the monkeys after they had tried to grab food. There are so many signs asking you not to feed them and that they are aggressive, and ignoring this guidance affects other tourists. It's astonishing.

Amazing day spent with Captain John! His expertise with his boat made us comfortable and he made sure we enjoyed the ride. Great experience seeing the sights and spending the day on this excursion.

Good: The guides Nash and Natasha were excellent. They were easy to talk to, engaging, knowledgeable and put people at ease. The tour itself was fun, interesting and well worth the time spent. Bad: Pick-up was 40 minutes late. There was confusion as to which tour company was responsible for us and took another 20 minutes to resolve. Lunch was poor, it was dry and we ordered fresh fish that was served over cooked and cold. Overall: Highly recommend the tour, but, avoid the lunch.
